LONGMONT — A 16-year-old boy was killed in a hit-and-run crash at about 10:10 p.m. Monday in the 2200 block of North Main Street, according to police.

The victim’s name has not yet been released. He was either a Longmont resident or a former Longmont resident, according to Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur.

The hit-and-run occurred near a Noodles & Company restaurant.

Officers had responded to the area after receiving reports of a fight between a group of white males and a group of black males. The victim reportedly was running from the fight when he was struck by a vehicle heading south on Main Street.

An officer at the scene called for an ambulance, reporting that the victim had suffered “massive head trauma.”

“The car that hit the person left the scene,” Satur said.

An ambulance took the victim to Longmont United Hospital. Left on the street, at the scene of the crash, were the victim’s two white tennis shoes and red Chicago Bulls cap.

Officers on Tuesday interviewed most of the people involved in the fight, Satur said. Fewer than a dozen people, mostly from Longmont, were involved, and they ranged in age from 17 to 31, Satur said. The victim was the youngest of those involved. It appears the driver of the suspect vehicle was not connected to the fight, Satur said, and officers are looking for a vehicle of unknown make and color.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Longmont police at 303-651-8501.
